French Fascists

The French Fascists was a fascist political faction in France that was active from 1905 to 1936. The party was founded on the ideals of Charles Maurras and other notable French nationalist philosophers, and it supported state Catholicism, anti-Semitism, and a state-run capitalist economy. The Fascists found followers from every class, proposing class cooperation in order to expand France's colonial empire. However, the Fascists would be unable to have electoral success, never coming close to challenging any of the other parties for control of the government. The Fascist faction dissolved in 1936.
